Christmas in Holland

This week Lucas from 1-O told everyone about how he celebrates Christmas with his family.

Lucas has already celebrated this special day and he told us all about it.

Some of Lucas' family come from Holland and the 5th December is a very special day for them.

It is the day when Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas) brings presents!

St. Nicholas' day is on the 6th December, but in Holland, the major celebrations are held on the 5th December.

On the morning of St. Nicholas' Day, Sinterklaas travels with his helper called Zwarte Piet.

Children leave clogs or shoes out to be filled with presents They also believe that if they leave some hay and carrots in their shoes for Sinterklaas's horse, they will be left some sweets.

Lucas brought in lots and lots of yummy sweets and showed us the toy he got from Sinterklaas.

'Prettige Kerstfeest' to everyone!

Lego Robots Workshop

Today Year 1 were visited by some Lego Robots.

We spent the morning programming robots to move around the hall.

We learned lots about sensors and how to make the robots do different things.

Everyone had lots of fun and worked really well together.

Year 1 Science walk

1-O’s  Science

Listening walk
We went on a science walk today to start our new topic,
Sound and Hearing.

What could we hear?

We heard children talking quietly.

We heard the wind in the trees.

We can hear the cars from the road.

We heard the leaves go crunch, when we stepped on them.

We heard Mrs Reith teaching her children.

The dinner ladies were cleaning, we heard the spoons banging.

Even the floor made a sound. It went bang, when we walked over the trap door.

Finally we heard Miss Kana talking to her children very nicely.
